My thoughts exactly even though Gasol is not playing very well is not all his fault, of course he is not the Gasol from back in 09-10 he can still play and the reason he is sucking now is because of the system that MD has implemented. I said before and I'll say it again this team is not a team that fits MD system at all even with Steve Nash here which is why I wanted Phil or Sloan. So now Kobe has to talk to the person he called an "offensive genius" to tell him to fix the issues with Gasol... seriously so much for that.

SAS is a Knicks fan hes bitter MDA screwed up his team last few years so hes criticiizing him at every opportunity he can get. Pau's problems goes back to Brown and Phil also

Gasol has been declining little by little over the years isn't that what aging does? The fact that he is performing so poorly now it's because MD has him shooting 3s!!! When did PJ or MB have him do that?

Pau shot quite a few threes to begin this year. Also Pau has the opportunity to post up when Howard is out of the game so why isn't Pau posting up?

His play is influenced by the system we're running obviously. He wasn't shooting them as much as he has been lately though.

Don't get me wrong I do think he should be traded now rather than later but just because of the fact that the longer we keep him the less we can get back in return.

This means more minutes for Jamison and Hill who have both clearly played better than Pau has when they've gotten big mins. So thats additition by subtraction. We will probably add another shooter and defender in the wing position with Pau gone so thats another huge plus. This team can get better with a Pau trade.

It's not that Pau is garbage, D'Antoni and Mike Brown are not utilizing him correctly. Pau is a post player, not a stretch 4. That's it. He should get all the post touches that Dwight gets.

Dwight is not Bynum or Shaq. He weighs 265-270. You can't run post isos for him all game and expect him to score. The strength of his game is not his strength, but his quickness & speed. What happened to the dreams of him and nash running pick and roll up top all game? Where did that go?

Pau is still an effective player. Our last two coaches are just dumbfounded on how to use him, and are deadset on believing that two big men cannot both be in the post at the same time. As if there aren't two sides of the court.

NOW

Pau is a [expletive]. He does have no heart at times. He can be physically dominated easily. But when he's engaged and motivated, he's great. I would rather have the Pau that got destroyed in Dallas than the Pau we have now.

When is the last time you watched a full Lakers game?

Because judging by your statement you haven't watched any games for a long while.

Pau gets bullied down low, he only shows glimpses of the potent low post scorer he was when we first got him

.

Where did that go you ask?

Now I'm really starting to wonder if you have watched games lately.

Dwight isn't attacking the rim after he gets the ball on those pick and rolls, that's what.

Hes effective when he's playing center, not power forward.

The reason the last two coaches have been dumbfounded on how to use him is because hes not the same Pau,hes not aggressive on the low block and hes had a pass first mentality (even when hes setup to score).

He hasn't been 'enganged and motivated' for a while now, its time to let him go.

so how about the last year of Phil Jackson remember his Triangle Offense?

Pau is completely gone at the time and completely outplayed by Nowitski and he is the reason why the lakers got swept by the mavs even the first round series of the playoffs, Bynum and Kobe carried his butt

System is not the problem his heart

Pau is in the stage of declining

he needs to go somewhere and start for a new kingdom like he did in Grizzlies before

Come the [expletive] on. Really? After 170 regular season games and two 2nd round exits fans are able to say Pau isn't at fault but the SYSTEM is ? How dumb is that? Do you know who was getting the heat from media before the season began? Kobe. They said Kobe can't coexist with Howard and Nash. He would ruin this team. Guess what, Kobe is making them eat those words one by one. And where is Pau after those 'miracle' Olympics performances? Excuse after excuse. He's turned into an excuse machine. He's become a whining little [expletive] who can't do a simple task asked from him. This [expletive]ing piece of [expletive] was saying after shooting 2-3 treys a game that he is confident in his shooting, he could knock down those jumpers comfortably. What happens in next 5 games? He can't shoot for [expletive], then whines about lack of touches in the post. Really? Does he think we are stupid? We can't see what's going on there?

It's about time, Pau. January 15. The day you officially become an ex-Laker.

Because judging by your statement you haven't watched any games for a long while.

I can count on one hand how many times Pau got the ball in a post-up situation this past week. Get your life.

Dwight isn't attacking the rim after he gets the ball on those pick and rolls, that's what.

Please, show me how many times we ran pick & roll. We ran the same two plays out of horns for most of the first half. Screen and curl to the basket by Ron or Kobe, which ended up being Kobe isos by the 2nd half.

This is how I know you don't really watch basketball. Whether he is playing at the 4 or 5 doesn't matter. It's where he gets the ball, where he can score, and where the rest of the team gets to score. Dwight is not a back to the basket, back down the defender and score type of scorer. He can't face up either. Who is our most proficient post scorer? Pau. Who can create out of the post? Pau. Who gets 2 turnovers a game compared to Dwight's 4? Pau.

I said that he is a [expletive]. and lacks heart. I admit that. But we're stuck with him for now, management is probably not going to make anymore moves, and who wants that contract anyway? Would you rather have the Pau that got destroyed in Dallas or this Pau?

Gasol failed in the Triangle, in Mike Brown's 4-out-1-in system, in the D'Antoni system... I think it's not the system. Gasol shows no aggression, routinely gets out-muscled in the paint, he can't even take advantage of guys half his size any more. The only question now is do the Lakers trade him now or wait until next season when his expiring contract makes his trade value go way up.

I'd rather get rid of Gasol now for an expiring contract. I just get irritated when he is on the court, but that's just my opinion, lol.
